Samenvatting
Study highlighting the cultural impact of British film. Taking 200 iconic films from the past six decades, it traces how British cinema has upheld some traditional British values, and mocked, challenged and undermined others. It shows how important film has been in sustaining and developing the identity of the UK's nations and regions, and in reflecting the changing face of Britain's different communities. And it charts the extraordinary power a successful British film can wield at home and abroad. Report and appendices with film case studies, statistical analysis of UK film releases in Europe and the US and marketing case studies.
